Intro from IF Board

in Pregnant after IF
Hi Ladies.  I think it's time I make the leap over here from IF!  I had my third beta on Monday that came back 13K+ and have my first u/s scheduled for next Wednesday for our successful SET on 7/2.  I'm pretty shocked that it jumped so far in a week, but I won't complain!  EDD is around March 20th...assume they'll confirm that at u/s appt.  I am so happy to see so many familiar names over here and look forward to getting to know you all!

And I guess I'll go ahead and start it off with a question!  I've been reading up on the MaterniT21 test but can't seem to figure out if this is something I do through my dr. office or if I can order it directly from their website?  Do any insurance companies cover this?  Average costs?  I'm 33, so not quite at the 35 cut-off I've heard mentioned before, but this is definitely something I would like to do.  Any info appreciated!

Wow, I still can't believe I'm finally getting to do this! :)

    Congrats and welcome! In response to your question, at my first tri screening the MFM said that insurance only pays for the MaterniT21 if you have a risk factor (over 35, family history, etc). Otherwise he said it was like $2700! Hope that helps to answer your question.
    Me:30 low AMH; DH:30 MFI (count, motility, morphology)
    2 rounds clomid 100 mg -BFN
    IUI#1- 25 mg clomid- July 2012= BFN!
    IUI #2 August = BFN!
    IUI #3 September = BFN!

    IVF #1 November - converted to IUI #4 due to poor response = BFN
    IVF #1.2 February- converted to IUI #5 due to poor response = BFN
    IVF #1.3 April- micro dose Lupron flare with HGH; 14R, 13M, 11F! Transfer of 1 day 5 blast on 4/30, 4 frosties. BFP! Beta #1 9dp5dt= 179; Beta #2 11dp5dt= 442; Beta #3 4106 Stick baby stick!!

    Welcome!! No info on the Mat21 test. We did the NT scan and Harmony (no gender results) and our insurance covered it.

    Welcome! As for the test, you order it through your OB. I called the billing office for materniT21, which was listed on their website, and they told me that if insurance did not cover my test, it would be a max of 200 oop. That said, they still haven't submitted a claim to my insurance over 2 months later, so I don't know how it will pan out.
    Married 8/2008. IVF with PGD March 2013.
    3/22 ER: 25R, 20M, 15F. 9 genetically normal, and 3 survived to Day 5
    3/27 ET: transferred 1 embryo, beta 9dp5dt=163, 12dp5dt=639
    4/25 1st ultrasound at 7 weeks = identical twins with heartbeats?!!!

    Welcome! I had MaterniT21 but I'm 39. Like PP said many insurances won't cover unless you have risk factors.

    I tried to do the MaterniT21, and my dr ordered it (I'm 34), but the testing place I went to said they wouldn't do it without risk factors. However, after some pleading on my part, they were able to do the Harmony test, which I think is almost the exact same thing.  I have not received a bill and had it done back in April, so I am pretty sure my insurance covered it.

    Congrats and welcome!!  I am interested in getting one of the blood tests too but I don't think I have risk factors unless DH's age counts.  I plan to ask at my first ob appt on Monday.

    Congrats and welcome! Your doctor may not even order a Mat21 test without risk factors, especially if your 1st Tri screening is normal. But I have read that even if insurance doesn't cover it, the max you're charged is like $230. This was a few months ago when I was hoping to get it done (no risk factors, great NT scan, so my MFM didn't order it) so it may have changed since then.
